I hope he doesn't let us wait very long when he's done recording. RDR and DR were recorded in march and february resepctively, and released in october and november. I already downloaded DR in September. There were no changes, except the inclusion of Freedom. But productionwise, I think DR was ready in June, after the overdubs and the recording of Loving Flame. Why does he wait so long to release the CD? Like that it's no wonder the album is available online long before the official release date.

And I also hope he will take some more time to record the new album. Imho two weeks is too short. He did that on RDR (alright, because it's a simple Rock 'n' Roll album, but I didn't think it was good enough for DR.

And my guess for the release is late 2004. 2003 will be a European and maybe Oz/South America tour, then he's going to take a break, and get the band together again early 2004, record the whole thing and release it late 2004.
